Show notes

Satellite Sisters covers the gamut from women in the workplace to drama in the skies to a first date. Yeah, Satellite Sisters Of The Week: Congrats to the astronauts who executed the first ever all-female space walk and to Ann McClain, the woman left behind who cheered them on. Personally, we would have behaved more like Aidy Bryant on the SNL skit.

According to McKInsey and Fortune Magazine, what's between you and that last big promotion? It's not getting that first big promotion. They call it "the broken rung" and it appears to be the biggest system barrier to gender parity.

Liz visited the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC.

Want to meet America's Sweetheart? Here's Adam Rippon's Book Tour Schedule

Using Improv to Spark Creativity and Fall Book Recommendations Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

Today on the podcast, we follow-up on Liz Dolan's whereabouts (The World Track & Field Championships in Doha), the new law in California for college athletes, some Fall Organizing tips that we don't want to follow, our Fall Book Recommendations and interview Jorjeana Marie about using improv to spark creativity.

Thanks to Jorjeana Marie for coming into the studio. Find out more about her and her book Improv for Writers here.

Fall Books We Love:

From Lian:

The Dutch House-- Ann Patchett

Beautifully written novel about a broken family and the two siblings that emrege from the wreckage. Novel of memory-- a warning. You’re either going to love that-- or not.

The Nobodies-- Liza Palmer

This is a super fun page turner about a former journalist that goes to work at a tech companyy as the lowest person in the department. But her journalistic instincts kick in when she senses something in off behind the scenes. Liza Palmer is the best-selling author of Conversations with the fat Girl and she based her novel on her real life experiences going to work at BuzzFeed. So sosososos funny.

We Met in December-- Rosie Curtis

For fans of Rom Coms and British people saying funny British things and drinking way too much on the weeknights. Engaging romance that unfurls over a calendar year.

Bringing Down the Duke -- Evie Dunmore

Take a regency romance and ramps it up with a fun storyline you don’t see often-- womens suffrage!

From Julie

A Single Thread -- Tracy Chevalier

A pre World War II story about a women who uses her stitching to connect with other women and the world

Things You Save in a Fire -- Katherine Center

Firefighters. Boston. Romance. Funny. We're in!

Reminder about GoodReads + BookClubGirl for The Sweeney Sisters give-aways

Inner Fitness Life Coaching, Urban Nana, NASA's Artemis Program, Cheese-filled Wedding, Serena Williams and Steph Curry Jul 23, 2019

Show notes

Lian recounts the personal growth aspects of her visit to Rancho La Puerta with her husband and highly recommends the Inner Fitness Program from life coach Emily Boorstein. Julie recaps Urban Nana's visit to Brooklyn during a heat wave. Liz is excited that NASA's new astronaut training program is named after the goddess of the moon Artemis (Apollo's twin sister). Nasa has promised to send a female astronaut to the moon on the next trip. Here's our favorite cheese-filled wedding announcement. Much better than this story about out-of-control bridesmaids celebrations. And Amanda Knox crowd-sourcing her wedding? We don't get it.

For fun, watch this Serena Williams video and this Steph Curry Sings Hamilton video. Tune in next week to hear special guest Rico Gagliano, author of Brunch is Hell and co-host with Liz of the Safe For Work career advice podcast, which was just named to this list of 20 Best Podcasts of 2019.
